I'm an addict. I'm addicted to face masks and I'm addicted to online shopping. So I'm gonna use these two addictions in this post
to review some face masks I used and tried from Iherb ( almost a third
addiction :). I Love face masks. They are a means to relax after a long day (and
they are mostly long) and pamper your skin and try to get a bit of a better complexion
despite this stressful life. I love high end masks also, REN, Aesop, antipodes
and so and ill review you them in a coming post, but im realy glad I found some
good, affordable, effective and mostly natural masks on iherb.

I use
a mask 2-3 times a week and try to use at least once a week an exfoliating mask
and once a week a purifying mask. Once in
a while I also use a moisturizing mask.

My
skin Is combination with the occasional breakout or dehydration.

So
here we go

Alba Botanica, Facial
Mask, Papaya Enzyme

This
is one of my favorites. Alba cosmetics in general is one of my favorite natural
brands as they are effective, pampering and affordable. This is a great exfoliating mask , it might be a bit tingly the first time you use it but nothing bad. It has
a nice cool jell texture which is lovely in summer and it doesn’t dry. it leaves skin amazingly soft and glowing. I love
it

Total
ranking 4.5/5

Reviva Labs, Oxygen Mask, Green Papaya &
Hydrogen Peroxide

This was a disappointing mask. It did
leave skin nice afterwards but it was very unpleasant to put on and take off. It
has a very thick and sticky consistency and water itself doesn’t take it off,
you need soap and to scrub it off and I don’t like scrubbing my face after an exfoliating mask…. I wonder if the skin felt smooth after ward because of the scrub or the
mask

Total ranking 2/5

Andalou Naturals, Glycolic Mask, Pumpkin
Honey, Brightening

Another favorite and im eager to try
other Andalou products. Its an orange mask, looks a bit like pumpkin puree. It is an exfoliating mask. People say its comparable to Michael Todd's pumpkin mask but I
cant compar. It doesn’t dry. It leaves skin glowing and smooth. I would buy
again,

Total tanking 4/5

Alba Botanica, Even Advanced Deep Sea Facial
Mask

This is my newest mask and im still
trying it out. It has a nice pasty/creamy texture and it dries on your face but
not in the cement, cant move your face, way that other clay based maskes do (it’s
a purifying mask) . So far it’s a nice mask that clear skins and brightens, I still
don’t know if it even outs skin tone.

iits also gentle so i think you can use it often.

Total tanking- not final 3.5/5

There
are many masks I still want to try like the Aztec clay mask and Sea Minerals,
Black Mud. Would love to hear what you think and get some recommendations to
feed my addiction

Until
the end of july 2014 there is free international shipping on Iherb so take
advantage. Use discount code

Hello tigers!
If your reading this, this means you came into my blog and I first want to welcome you and second tell you a bit about me and how and why i started to blog.
My name is Karyn, a resident in internal medicine, I love animals, beer, ice cream and kind people.
I started this blog as an extension of my daily escapes. These past 6 month were extremely difficult for me, in almost each aspect in my life and I had and still have many challenges to face. One way not to loose what's left of my mind is finding little ways to escape. I started getting into makeup and skincare/cosmetics (some would call it an obsession), try to find and perform acts of kindness and enjoy small things in life such as good food or a great book. Yes, there are more important things in life then makeup and food , but its great to escape a bit from hardship.
This blog is a platform for me to share with you my little escapes and through that share a bit of my self. Its still very new to me so please be patient and kind and i would love you to join the ride.
With hugs and a wish that we all show kindness to others
Karyn
